In this film by Nicola Kelleher, we meet Darren Tansley from the Essex Wildlife Trust to learn key concepts of riverbank (riparian) management. Darren advocates using natural materials to protect and stabilise riverbanks, such as willow stakes and bundles of hazel twigs, and talks about how to avoid damaging them.

The riparian ecosystem should be of special importance because of the very special niches it has
